RSS widget does not display contents of a valid feed

this feed validates by the FeedValidator and I can read it in all agregators I use.

any updates on this issue?
btw, I’ve noticed the RSS widget’s functionality has been changed recently: now it doesn’t anymore contains a feed item’s content in the ‘title’ attribute like it did before — pity, since it was a very useful feature I used to utilize to display a recent comments and read some feeds just mousing over a link to a feed item’s title.
wonder if that change has been caused by a number feedback reports on wrong renedering of the foreign chars in the RSS widget as a simplest solution (due PHP still have problems with Unicode support)?
-
/me notices the Invision, OpenWebmail, and WinAmp notices in there.
I’ll send in a feedback just to give them a headsup. I think I did it last time though.
By the way, any idea what type of feed that is? As some of you are aware, my knowledge of RSS is rather lacking. I know it’s RSS 1.0 but is that any other name or label to it? I don’t see anything that I can point at and say it’s this type or that type of feed.

Don’t forget Atom and whatever else is out there.
And then we have HTML and XTML and…
I remember reading an HTML manual in a DOS browser for a BBS software package back in the early nineties and thinking that this was so cool and simple.
*sigh*

I beleive Atom is relatively more consistent (than RSS).
I’m aware the only DOS browser: ‘Arachne‘ (not sure how it could be used with any of BBS existed at those times though).
Scott J. Dudley’s (1:249/106) Maximus BBS and Squish, Gerard Van Essen’s (2:281/527) TimEd, serge terekhov’s (2:5000/13) bink+ (Binkley Terminal Plus), Pete Kvitek’s (2:5020/6) SqaFix and so on — that was The Software…

Virtual Advanced and VBBS. That’s what I was thinking of. Remembered last night. The browser was for the manual.
It’s strange though as it’s got to be pulling something in of the feed as it’s getting the website information. I just both the feed listed about and the virus one on my test blog. It points to different portions of the Secunia website.
Strange…

I installed two RSS widgets on Undoing Denial (http://doctortwo.wordpress.com/), one to Today’s Papers, and one to Press Box; both feeds are subfeeds from Slate, an online daily paper.
Today when I logged on there was a bunch of links under each RSS feed. It seems that the first bunch I saw was related to the RSS process and possibly to Slate, but now, the feeds are to a WordPress blogging colleague, Richard Sweeney, whose blog is beautiful, though off topic.Am I doing something wrong, or is it the widget?
-
I see them pointed at Slate. Looks like they are the same feed though since they’re listing the same list of articles.
-
Thanks, drmike. Yes, the links to Richard Sweeney’s blog are gone, and now they are pointed at Slate, but I don’t see Slate content or list of articles, same or different.
-
I wish I could get it to work with something, anything, but the del.icio.us feeds nor anything fed through feedburner works now. it used to, but not now.

Doctor, not sure. I see that you still have the same URL for the feed in there. I tried it out on my test blog and nothing came in. Could maybe Slate have changed it? I know when I copy the URL that you’re using, Slate redirects it. Did that yesterday as well. Where are you getting these feed URL from? Looks more like something on their end.
Cubby, your best bet is to send in a Feedback with a pointer to this thread as well as the three feeds you’re trying to pull in. Looks like your issue is more of a backend issue.
